Burglary Prevention Tips

The following burglary prevention tips will help to make you and your family safer and also deter potential burglars.

Keep all doors and windows closed and securely fastened. Thieves are also quick to spot weak locks that may be easily forced open. Doors should have good deadbolt locks and all windows should have window locks.

Keep shrubbery trimmed away from entrances and walkways.

Marked personal property is difficult for a burglar to sell. If a burglar is caught with marked property, it is evidence of stolen goods. Engrave an identification number on an area that is not easily dismantled or seen. Once property has an owner applied number, create a list of the property and coordinating numbers and keep the list in a secure location.
